The Challenge

We believe one of the most pressing issues within the industry currently is finding and retaining enough skilled staff with the right attitude to build your business. Often if you find good people they lack the skills and experience you require. Our Horticultural Training Academy helps you fill the knowledge gap to ensure staff are highly skilled, productive and efficient.

  • Has your existing team got the skills needed to help grow your business?

  • Do they all work to the same standard?

  • Do your staff make mistakes that cost you money?

  • Do you struggle with staff retention?

  • Do you believe your team could become more productive by working more efficiently?

““We’ve learned some valuable lessons over our decades in business and continuously develop and adjust what we do. We now want to offer this as a learning experience to help professionals overcome gaps in knowledge and increase their confidence levels.” ”
